Oh my freakin' GAWD!!!!

Unreal. Absolutely unreal. That can't be coming from an 8 year old. That kid's channeling. Stevie Ray is reaching out from beyond the grave and coming through this kid.

[Spookineer]

Certainly a talent in the making! Thaks for sharing.

[Bloodhound]

Tallan Noble Latz (aka: The T-Man) now just turning 8 years old, seems to be destined for the big stage. He has been playing music since the age of 3, picking up the guitar for the first time at 4 and finally getting serious about the guitar at age 5. What makes this quick evolution even more surprising is that Tallan doesn´t come from a really musical family. His grandmother and great grandparents played a little but never took it to the extreme that Tallan is seeking to do with his art form. Tallan realizes that he can touch people´s lives with his music and that is his driving force.


At the age of 5 Tallan asked for an electric guitar for Easter after watching a video of Joe Satriani. He had his choice between a guitar, a remote control boat or a new bike. He chose the guitar. The stipulation was that if he got the guitar he must take lessons and practice. He has done both every since and has never looked back!


Tallan loves playing his guitar; he´s played before small groups of 15 to huge crowds of a couple thousand. Tallan has already performed at dozens of venues, benefits and festivals. He has had the opportunity to share the stage with hundreds of different musicians, some local, some regionally known, some nationally known and still others that are internationally known, all before he turned the age of 8.
